What are some of the best experimental groups? The stuff I have listened to is pretty minimal/base level(things like Death Grips, Bjork, The Residents). What are some essentials I should check out and where should I move from there?

You don't just listen to "experimental music"
You have to understand WHY said artist is experimental by listening to whatever genre they operate in.
You don't listen to Peter Brotzmann without ever hearing Miles Davis or John Coltrane, or listen to Swans without ever hearing The Beatles.

These people have no connection to one another

I know it's not a genre. I'm using it as a blanket statement for all the genres it applies to because I'm interested but also a lazy newfag.

Just say you don't like anything and have no palette or taste yet
In that case, pain teens first album. John Zorns naked city, and Eric Dolphy at the 5 spot cafe, earth 2, corrupted, pussy galore, Kim hiorthoy, Christ curio. Volume 2, codeine, cromagnon, danger doom. Btw these are guys off the top of my head
Requesting copypasta of that list of /mu/core that's a paragraph long

Fair point. The only one I've listened to is Danger Doom so I guess I have my work cut out for me

>The Red Krayola
Now there's a chore of a band. The only act on that list who I'd say are just a meme. Almost nothing associated with Mayo Thompson is worth the time of day.
